Joghi Wallahs at Benares, from a sketch by one of our special artists, 1876. Creator: Unknown
Joghi Wallahs at Benares, from a sketch by one of our special artists, 1876. Indian ascetics:an exhibition of "joghi wallahs." These are a class of Hindoo religious mendicants, who appeal to the superstitious reverence and sympathy of the people by stationing themselves in an immoveable attitude, or by repeatedly performing some painful gesture, sometimes holding a cumbrous weight in the most tedious and inconvenient manner. They are of both sexes, and display a vast deal of misdirected ingenuity, as well as fortitude, in the variety of their feats of endurance, which are rewarded with abundant gifts of money, food, and other worldly store'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Joghi Wallahs at Benares
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative image of a group of ascetics, immortalized in a sketch by an unidentified special artist for the "Illustrated London News" in 1876. This print offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Hindu traditions and beliefs in India during the 19th century. The Joghi Wallahs, or Jogis, are a class of Hindu religious mendicants who have dedicated their lives to self-discipline and spiritual pursuits. They are renowned for their feats of endurance, which they perform to elicit the sympathy and reverence of the people. The ascetics can be seen in various stages of meditation, some in an immoveable attitude, while others perform painful gestures or hold heavy weights. Both men and women are represented, displaying a remarkable fortitude and misdirected ingenuity. The Joghi Wallahs are dressed in animal hides, including leopard skins, and adorn themselves with headgear made from turban fabric. Some wear beards and have long matted hair, adding to their mystical appearance. The ascetics are shown seated in various postures, including the lotus position (padmasana), which is a hallmark of deep meditation and self-discipline. The scene unfolds in Benares, an ancient city in northern India, which was a significant center of Hinduism and a popular destination for spiritual seekers. The Joghi Wallahs' presence adds to the city's unique character, which continues to draw visitors from around the world to this day. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India and the enduring allure of its spiritual traditions. It offers a window into the past, inviting us to explore the depths of human resilience, faith, and the human spirit.
